Shloka 46
पश्यतस्तव पुत्रस्य कर्णस्य च महात्मन: । ग्रस्तमाचार्यमुख्येन धृष्टद्युम्मममोचयत्,परंतु उस बाणको शिनिप्रवर सात्यकिने महामना कर्ण और आपके पुत्रके देखते-देखते दस तीखे बाणोंसे काट डाला और आचार्यप्रवरके द्वारा प्राणसंकटमें पड़े हुए धृष्टद्युम्नको छुड़ा लिया
sañjaya uvāca | paśyatas tava putrasya karṇasya ca mahātmanaḥ | grastam ācāryamukhyena dhṛṣṭadyumnam amocayat |
Sañjaya berkata: Ketika putramu dan Karṇa yang berhati agung menyaksikan, Sātyaki—yang terdepan di antara Śini—menebas misil itu dengan sepuluh anak panah tajam dan membebaskan Dhṛṣṭadyumna yang telah dicengkeram dan dibawa ke ambang maut oleh guru utama Droṇa.

Educational Q&A
Even amid ruthless warfare, dharma often appears as steadfast protection of one’s ally: Satyaki’s swift intervention emphasizes loyalty, courage, and the duty to rescue a comrade in immediate peril, even under the gaze of formidable opponents.
Drona has seized/overpowered Dhrishtadyumna, placing him in grave danger. Satyaki, a leading Shini warrior, counters by cutting down the threatening weapon/attack with ten sharp arrows and thereby frees Dhrishtadyumna, all while Duryodhana’s side and Karna witness the act.
